Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 227
The sun is setting, outside Jinling City, in front of the Sanli Pavilion.

There are flying birds gathering here, snakes and rabbits standing tall, farmers, hawkers, old women and other people of all kinds gather here.

Originally, these common people were very ordinary existences, ignorant of words and poems, but if someone with a heart came here at this moment, if they listened carefully, they would find that the words spoken by these farmers, peddlers, and old women contained profound meanings. The great truth, and the witty words, the momentum is majestic, not like the tone that ordinary people can have, but the bearing of a prince and duke.

Occasionally, a few pedestrians passing by felt weird seeing this scene, and left quickly with an attitude of doing more and less.

Those who are still standing in front of the gazebo are not waiting for nothing.

It's hard to imagine though.

In the scene that happened today, the gods in the sky descended to the earth to discuss with the sages about immortal affairs.

Although it looks very simple, it is a grand scene that is rare in ancient and modern times.

"A plague is not worth attracting so many gods from the Heavenly Palace. Did the gods come to discuss other matters with me?" Li Xiuyuan glanced at the crowd, his spirit hidden in his body, and put away his radical thoughts for the time being.

All the traffickers and pawns were silent for a while.

Then the farmer who appeared at the beginning said, "Your way of killing immortals is too dangerous and will affect the balance of the three realms. A while ago, you killed the Dragon King of Wujiang, and by the way, a city god, and today you stopped the plague god from spreading the plague." , your existence is already interfering with the operation of the Heavenly Palace, today is just a good time to discuss with you, a sage on earth, about the matter of the God of Plague."

"It turns out that I came here for the way of killing immortals. I don't know what the gods mean?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Your way of slaying immortals should be sealed." The peddler next to you said solemnly: "You are a saint in the world, and you are destined to become a god and holy existence in the future. You should not continue on this way."

"There are demons in the world, ghosts in the world, evil gods in the sky, and grievances in hell. If you don't practice this way, how can you be holy?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"The demons in the world are punished by the God of Thunder. The ghosts in the world should be restrained by the city gods everywhere. The gods who don't abide by the rules in the sky have their own gods to condemn them. The injustice in hell is caused by the turmoil in the mortal world. The world is in turmoil, and the reason for the corruption of the court has nothing to do with ghosts and gods?" said the peddler.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "If all the demons who do evil in the world are killed, all the ghosts in the world are restrained, and the gods in the sky who don't abide by the rules are punished in time, then my way of killing immortals will be useless. What is there to worry about? The reason why you are worried is because you are afraid that one day you will make a mistake and be controlled by my way of killing immortals, so you want to block my way."

The peddler was silent for a moment, and the farmer couldn't refute.

Only the flying bird on the gazebo next to it opened its eyes wide and chirped, as if a little embarrassed.

"The words of the sages in the world are deafening and reasonable."

At this time, a sudden voice sounded, but on the avenue not far away, a man in black with black hair and a sword hanging from his waist strode over, nodded in agreement as he walked, and felt that Li Xiuyuan's words made sense.

True Martial Lord?

The birds, beasts, peddlers, and farmers all looked at him.

"Don't look at me like this. The words of the sages in the world are indeed reasonable. I'm helping you and not helping your relatives."

Zhenwu Shenjun said with a smile: "People in the mortal world commit crimes, and they are restricted by the laws of the imperial court. Lei Gong, the city gods on the ground are killed and arrested, but what should the gods do if they make a mistake?"

"If you don't know the gods, you should be punished. You can't always be on top and manage the Three Realms."

"True Martial God, what do you mean by that?" The peddler said in a deep voice.

Zhenwu Shenjun smiled and said: "Actually, I also feel that this world is a bit chaotic. The world is chaotic, the underworld is chaotic, and the heavens are also chaotic. I think the root cause of this is the imbalance of the three realms. It is God's will that the sages born at this time , there are some things we should wait and see instead of stopping. The God of Plague has spread the plague for thousands of years, so it may not be unchangeable. The Dragon King of Wujiang can adjust the climate of the four seasons, but it can also cause floods and drown a place. Is this good or bad? ?”

"I don't know the gods, why are they gods? I'm going to join in the fun with today's affairs. If I feel that I'm talking too much, I just leave."

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Zhenwushenjun. This Zhenwushenjun seemed to be helping him.

"Since Lord Zhenwushen thinks the words of the saints in the world make sense, you might as well give it a try." The peddler said.

"How to try?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The peddler said: "From today onwards, the gods will not intervene in this land, and it is up to you to govern it. See if you can govern a peaceful universe or a turbulent world. If you can govern better than the gods, we will cooperate with you." To change the way of the world, if you become more and more orderly and chaotic, then your way of killing immortals should be sealed up and not used, so as not to destroy the balance of the three realms, how about it?"

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly: "Yes, let's take the Yangzhou boundary for a try. How long is the deadline?"

"No limit, but within a year, Tiangong will gradually transfer the gods who serve in this realm, including city gods, door gods, day tour gods, night tour gods, water gods, river gods, land gods, and mountain gods." The hawker said.

"In other words, after one year, there will be no gods in Yangzhou, only demons and ghosts." Said the farmer next to him.

Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he felt that this matter was not simple.

It doesn't seem to be the case on the surface, and there seems to be some trap waiting for him.

But when things got to this point, he couldn't back down.

"If I win, are you really going to cooperate with me to change the world?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Of course, if you have a better way, we will go naturally. How can we be as stubborn as rotten Confucianism." The peddler said.

"Okay, then it's settled." Li Xiuyuan said.

This is a big gamble, and the gamble is on the world.

Whether to continue the chaos like this or to get a good change in the future depends on how Li Xiuyuan governs the state.

"Saint on earth, I hope you don't let me down. There are countless pairs of eyes watching you in the sky. Your way does not allow failure." The peddler said a few words, then turned and left on his own.

At this time, the birds on the gazebo also fluttered their wings and left, and there were a few faint clouds of green smoke flying out from the vicinity.

The snakes, rabbits and other animals on the roadside also burrowed back into the grass.

Everything around quickly returned to calm.

Zhenwu Shenjun also smiled, walked over and said: "See now, Tiangong is chaotic, not all gods are sensible, they have become gods for a long time, so that the gods of each era are different from each other. Gods have different ideas, and the Heavenly Palace will naturally be chaotic over time, it is so difficult for you to rule a state today, and it may be difficult for you to calm it down in a lifetime."

"They want to trap me here?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he realized this immediately.

Zhenwu Shenjun didn't speak anymore, he just smiled, and then his body turned into a stream of incense and scattered out.

This is not the real Martial God Lord's body, but an incense avatar.

This is a common method used by the gods, and it is not surprising.

Seeing these gods leave, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the setting sun.

He didn't know whether it was good or bad to agree to the request of these gods today, he only knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to change the world.

One man is poor.

There are so many demons and goblins in the world, and there are gods involved in it, making this world full of chaos.

Now that Tiangong is willing to transfer the gods of this state, it may not be an opportunity for him.

If Li Xiuyuan couldn't even govern a state, then he couldn't govern the turbulent world of the world either.

"My ambition is not to reward the people, but the people are suffering, and there are cries everywhere in the mountains and rivers." Li Xiuyuan murmured.
